9.3 The Mole (Pg. 131 – 132)• One mole of particles contains ________________________________ particles.
( 6.02 X 1023 is also known as the Avogadro’s constant. )• Symbol of "mole" is __________________________.
• Definition of mole:
A mole is the _____________________________________________________________
(atoms, molecules or ions) as the number of atoms in 12 g of carbon-12
• ____ mole of water molecules is made up of _____ moles of hydrogen atoms and
____ mole of oxygen atoms.
• Conversion between number of moles and number of particles:
Number of particles
Number of moles = 6 X 1023
The Molar Mass
• The __________________________________________________________________
is known as its molar mass.
• The unit for molar mass is ________________________________________ (g/ mol).
• Molar mass of an element = Relative atomic mass (Ar) of the element in grams.
Mass of element (g)
Number of moles of an element = Relative atomic mass of the
element
Mass of compound (g)
Number of moles of a compound = Relative molecular mass
Mass of compound (g)
= Relative formula mass

Practice Questions
1. How many moles of atoms are there in (a) 2.4 X 1024 atoms of sodium?
No. of moles of sodium atoms =
=
= _______________ mol
(b) 1X 1023 atoms of argon gas?
No. of moles of argon atoms =
= _______________ mol
2. How many(a) atoms are there in 0.5 mol of lead?
No. of lead atoms = No. of moles X Avogadro’s constant
= 0.5 X 6 X 1023
